 The group build build that never was... Checking out Tamiya's 1/700 King George V. What's in the box?

I was going to do this  as part of a group bujild. In the end, the Scharnhorst  took the place.
Let's have a look at how this went though.

The King George V-class battleships (Thank you Wiki) were the most modern British battleships in commission during the Second World War. Five ships of this class were built: HMS King George V (commissioned 1940), HMS Prince of Wales (1941), HMS Duke of York (1941), HMS Anson (1942) and HMS Howe (1942). The names honoured King George V, and his sons, Edward VIII, who had been Prince of Wales, and George VI who was Duke of York before ascending to the throne; the final two ships of the class were named after prominent 18th century admirals of the Royal Navy.

Checking out the box.
Images of other ships on the side. Not much help there.

Purchasing info on the ends. 

Less than a British tenner. Under 12 Dollars. No comjplaints there. It's got to be reasonable value.


Tamya always fills the box.




It's a waterline hull.

Three sprues in a couple of bags.






A long weight. (You just have to, don't you?)

Adult supervision required.
Naked plastic alert.








Let's dig in.
